La Bamba is my fave biopic too. Esai Morales definitely stole the whole movie. That scene at the end where he walks on the bridge and screams out "Ritchie!!!" gets me everytime. He should've won an Oscar, seriously.

Esai was definitely the star of the film and to back up Andy, he's a hunk.

Yes! Esai is super-fine,

Supposedly, there will be a biopic of Janis Joplin, which has taken forever, but they've picked Amy Adams...

Another one that's taken years is Miles Davis, which Don Cheadle has brought up wanting to get around to and focus on. As of two weeks ago he said he's finally going to do it. The script has been written. Prince mention in the article...

All those!!! Oh and Immortal Beloved and Coal Miners Daughter!

^^^ How could I forget that one?! Great script, great acting from Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones--a classic! Oh, that brings to mind another good country biopic--Sweet Dreams from 1985, starring Jessica Lange and Ed Harris.

I have so many biopics that I have either recorded off the TV or bought the DVDs. No matter what genre, whether you like the music or not, musical entertainers have the most interesting lives moreso than anyone else.

I bought "Coal Miner's Daughter" recently at Rose's for $7. Down here in Mississippi, a lot of folks talk just like she did and that's what makes it so funny because we've all been around rednecks and hillbillies down here. She was absolutely killing me with laughter with some her her lines in that movie....

Stop a'growlin' Doo, ya sound like uh big ole burrrr.....

And my favorite line in the movie....

Don't call me stupid! I might be ignorant but I ain't stupid!...

Even the lyrics in the music is hilarious.....

I'm about as old fashioned as I can be

Cause when you're lookin' at me

You're lookin' at country

She's just singing those lines just as proud. Hell, if somebody said those lyrics about me, I'd be ready to fight!

I had that very same picture of his face in my avatar for years and I still go back to it every now and then between avatars.

Oh Lord Andy what would we do without your commentary?

Leave it to Andy to state what people think but don't say...

I get that from my grandmother. She reminded me of a combination of Thelma Harper from "Mama's Family" and Sophia from "The Golden Girls". She didn't give a damn.

I remember once when I was 14 years old and was just recovering from hemorroids about a week earlier. We were sitting in Wendy's eating hamburgers. If you remember, back in those days, the tables in Wendy's were elbow to elbow. Anyway, out of the blue she said...."Well Andy, how's your little asshole been feelin' lately?". I told her to "Shhhhhhh" and she got pissed and got even louder....."You little bastard, your little 14 year old ass don't tell me to shhhhh! I'm 72 years old! All I wanted to know is how your asshole's been feelin'". I could have DIED!

I sure did. I also had another more recent picture of him in a suit with a goatee for a long time also.

A picture I've searched for forever to be my avatar is Rudy Ramos as "Angel" who was the gang leader in the 1980 movie "Defiance". In the youtube clip below, start watching at 2:35. The badass in the black leather trench coat and black brim hat. If ever anything has captured my style, attitude, and gestures, that's it. That's the type of stuff I wear and he's definately got my attitude and gestures with the head tilted back with the nose in the air. I'd love to have that picture in my avatar of him in that coat and hat holding that pistol up at that man in the shower like he's getting ready to take the dick.

I remember when that movie first came out, it was during the "Dirty Mind" era and back then, my little young ass used to think that was Prince playing that role.

It's not really a biopic, but a movie where they were spoofing their public image and late 60's pop culture. Jack Nicholson was one of the writers.

WHOOOO?

The biopic of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis. Look him, the group and that movie up.

I've watched bits of it, I'll watch the full biopic one day.

[Edited 1/31/11 10:08am]

I thought that was so overrated. It was well directed and brillantly acted, but overrall I thought that Ian Curtis really didn't have much of an interesting life. If he didn't have epliepsy and hadn't killed himself there would be absolutely nothing to tell because his career was so short.

In other words, if you took away all the interesting things about him, he'd be uninteresting.

In more other words, he wouldn't exist.

You know for someone who lived until 23 he did have a lot of interesting things going on in his life. The music in Joy Division was about his struggles.

Push come to shove the debate for me is between CMD (Stop a'growlin' Doo ) and "The Rose." In the end I am a dumbass and choose CMD cuz of Loretta's song about the pill called "The Pill", which was bat shit crazy and brave for a woman in country music to sing about in 1972. (It was recorded in '72 but was not released until '75 by her nervous record label.) Special shout out to Dolly Parton, who to this day refers to her friend in the down home version of her name - "Loretty."

But, Andy, amidst the debri of your hilarious grandmother story, I am left with the question - how bad ass do you have to be to get hemorroids at the age of 14? I hope that I am not projecting too much, and that hemorroids are not a routine rite of adolescent passage, cause that promises to be an interesting story right there, "you little bastard."

I remember having hemorroids even further back than that probably as far back as 8, 9, or 10. They come from being constipated and straining to get it out. I was always a child that refused to eat my vegetables. I think having hemorroids at a young age are the reason that I've always had a "Do Not Enter" sign on my ass as a gay male. I associate an ass with being nothing but pain. I'm 43 and won't even let my doctor stick his finger up my ass to check for cancer. I'll just have to take my chances.

I made an appointment with a doctor that I had never met or seen to have a prostate exam. When he came into to introduce himself to me I immediately started to evaluate his fingers - it was just a primordial/fear response. They were the hugest sausage fingers I had ever seen. But I was trapped, and really couldn't figure out a way to call things off without looking like a complete tool, or telling him that he had the hugest sausage fingers that I had ever seen and that he was not sticking anything like that inside of me. Fortunately he was quite deft with those plump digits and was in and out in no time at all. (Andy, please don't take chances, take a Valium son.)
